MANGO CUCUMBER SALSA
I found this recipe in a circular a long time ago and have adapted it over time. Can't remember which part of it is part of the original and what parts are my additions. This is a quick and easy side that perks up a basic grilled chicken breast or as a companion to tortilla chips. Sometimes I will top a bed of greens with leftover grilled chicken and this salsa for an easy and flavorful lunch.

Steps:

- I like to add the red pepper -- mostly for color. It just looks so lovely with the bright orange of the mango.

FRESH & HEALTHY MANGO AND CUCUMBER SALSA
This mango and cucumber salsa is a recipe from Ellie Krieger. It is healthy, fresh and highly versatile. I hope you enjoy it! SERVING RECOMMENDATION: Over grilled chicken breast or fish. HINT: To seed the mango, stand it on end (vertical) and slice down all four sides. Your knife will "feel" the seed, so it is easy this way!
